Inhalers like Seroflo are generally safe for asthma/COPD, but sometimes steroids or bronchodilators can relax the oesophagus slightly, which may contribute to acid reflux (GERD). Other factors like diet, obesity, or lying down after meals can also trigger GERD. You should discuss your symptoms with your doctor, who can suggest ways to manage reflux.
